ICC Champions Trophy Arrives In Pakistan: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has not yet made a final announcement regarding the upcoming events of the Champions Trophy. Despite this, the shining ICC trophy reached Pakistan on Thursday. According to media reports, a top official of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has said that the trophy tour will start from Skardu city of northern Pakistan. According to the official, along with the trophy, “the tour will pass through the major cities of Pakistan where the Champions Trophy matches are going to be played.”
Former captain took sarcasm
The Champions Trophy has reached Pakistan, but former captain Moin Khan does not seem very happy with it. “What is the purpose of this trophy tour,” he says, “when no one actually knows where the tournament is going to be held.” Will Pakistan and India play against each other for the tournament?
Get ready, Pakistan!

Not only this, Moin Khan says that cricket fans are waiting for the final event of the tournament. According to him, “It is very strange to organize a trophy tour without announcing the schedule.”
India has refused to go to Pakistan
India has refused to go to Pakistan for the upcoming tournament. BCCI says their players are not safe there. This is why they have demanded a hybrid model, but the PCB is not happy with this proposal. She wants the Blue Team to also reach Pakistan. This is where the whole problem lies.
There are also reports that if the Pakistan team refuses to participate in the Champions Trophy, then the tournament can be organized in South Africa. There are also rumors that discussions are going on within the BCCI that if necessary, a prestigious tournament can be organized in the country.
